Definitions
- This invention relates generally to apparatus and methods for separating solid particles form fluids or fluid slurries and more particularly to apparatus and methods for cleaning waste water by removing suspended solids.
- Municipal wastewater is the flow of used water from a community. Although the characteristics of the wastewater vary from location to location depending on various factors, municipal waste water is typically considered as a mixture of storm water and sanitary wastewater. Storm water is runoff from precipitation, and accordingly, reflects the composition of the precipitation and the surfaces with which it comes into contact.
- Sanitary wastewater is a combination of domestic wastewater and other wastewater such as that discharged form commercial, institutional, and other such facilities. Domestic wastewater includes typical wastes form the kitchen, bathroom and laundry, as well as any other wastes that people may accidentally or intentionally pour down the drain.
- Wastewater processing for large municipalities is typically divided into stages: pre-treatment, primary treatment, secondary treatment, tertiary treatment, and additional treatment.
- Pretreatment comprises screening the municipal wastewater to remove large solid debris such as gravel, wood, plastic and other miscellaneous trash from the wastewater. This step prevents the debris form damaging or interfering with the operation of the downstream equipment. This debris may be disposed of in a landfill or ground up and recycled.
- Primary treatment involves encouraging sedimentation by slowing the flow rate of the wastewater and allowing the larger suspended particles to settle naturally due to gravity. This permits floating solids, oils, and greases o be skimmed off the surface.
- the sedimented contaminants (often referred to as “sludge”) may be disposed of in a variety of ways, or “activated” and used as fertilizer.
- Secondary treatment involves aeration of the wastewater to encourage bacteria and other micro-organisms to grow and consume dissolved organic matter.
- a second sedimentation step with the addition of a metal salt solution may be employed to remove phosphorus and more of the suspended particles. Chlorine or ozone may also be added to kill harmful micro-organisms.
- Tertiary treatment employs sand filtration or mechanical filtration to further reduce the suspended particle concentration. Additional treatment such as nutrient removal and dechlorination of the wastewater may be performed subsequent to this step. Although the cleanest water is obtained using the tertiary and additional treatment stages, they are not performed by all wastewater treatment facilities.
- the debris tends to reduce the capacity of municipal waste separation equipment by clogging the screens and reducing their open area. As more wastewater is received for processing, the debris tends to accumulate in the screening equipment. This obviously further reduces the ability of the screening equipment to screen the wastewater. Eventually, this accumulation threatens the ability of the equipment to effectively screen the wastewater and may even force an overflow or bypass of the pretreatment stage, with detrimental effects on downstream equipment. This undesirable accumulation may result in system shutdown or the need for extra equipment.
- Wastewater treatment is essential to the health of the community and the environment. Unless it can be done efficiently, the cost of wastewater treatment may result in higher taxes or increased pollution. Screening equipment which operates efficiently and reliably can reduce the cost of the pre-treatment stage and thereby free up revenue for tertiary treatment or other additional treatment stages which reduce pollution.
- a municipal waste separator comprising a vessel which is roughly rectangular in plan, having side plates, a back plate, and an open base upon which the vessel rests.
- the vessel has a fluid inlet port through which debris-laden municipal wastewater passes, a wastewater outlet through which screened municipal wastewater passes, and a debris discharge outlet through which the debris and large particles screened from the municipal wastewater pass for disposal.
- the separator includes a continuous inclined screening belt which passes over an upper roller and a lower roller to screen the debris from the municipal wastewater and convey it to the debris discharge outlet. A puddle of debris-laden wastewater is encouraged to form to provide a hydrostatic pressure head on the upper surface of the screening belt to assist in forcing the wastewater through the screening belt. Wastewater which passes through the apertures in the screening belt is deflected by a deflector plate which shields the return path of the screening belt. The screened wastewater is then directed to the wastewater outlet.
- a belt-cleaning brush disposed along the return path brushes clinging debris from the screening belt toward the debris discharge outlet. Additionally, the screening belt rides on and is supported by a perforated backing plate as it travels from the lower roller to the upper roller. Overflow ports are provided to allow wastewater from the puddle to bypass the screening belt if the screening belt becomes blinded. This prevents the wastewater from exiting the separator via the debris discharge port.
- the screening belt preferably includes a backing belt which provides low sliding friction and excellent wear resistance, and one or more fine screens mounted on the backing belt. Any one of the fine screens may be easily replaced in the event of damage.
- the fine screens separate particles larger than the aperture size from the incoming wastewater, and the wastewater that passes through the apertures is directed through the wastewater outlet for further cleaning.
- a secondary screening belt is disposed so as to catch debris conveyed by he primary screening belt.
- This secondary screening belt conveys the debris through a press roller, whereby the excess water is removed from the debris.

- FIG. 1 is a side view
- FIGS. 2 and 3 are front and back views, respectively
- FIG. 4 is a bottom view.
- Municipal waste separator 10 is preferably constructed as a square-framed vessel of horizontal plan with a first end 12 and a second end 14 , and having an inlet pipe 16 and a discharge port 18 located at the second end 14 , and a debris outlet 20 at first end 12 .
- the sides of municipal waste separator 10 are formed by (near) side plate 22 and (far) side plate 24 (labeled in FIGS. 2 - 4 ).

- the weir feeder 26 includes a wave plate 28 and a weir 30 . Wave plate 28 suppresses ripples and waves in the fluid stream so that the fluid stream flows smoothly over weir 30 .
- the conveyor bed assembly comprises a continuous screening belt 32 , perforated backing plate 34 , side walls 36 , and puddle wall 38 .
- Perforated backing plate 34 is inclined at an angle between 0 and 20 degrees, and preferably at an angle of about 10 degrees.
- An upper roller 40 and a lower roller 42 are disposed at the upper and lower ends, respectively, of perforated backing plate 34 .

- the return path of the screening belt 32 is protected by a deflector shield 44 , and the returning portion of screening belt 32 may be supported by support rollers 46 and 48 .
- Support rollers 46 , 48 serve to relieve excess tension in the screening belt 32 and reduce belt stretch.
- Puddle wall 38 forms a retaining wall between the bottom of the wire feeder 26 and the conveyor belt 32 , and extends along the width of the perforated backing plate 34 . In conjunction with side walls 36 , the puddle wall 38 prevents the fluid stream from passing around screening belt 32 and thereby avoiding the screening process.
- the puddle wall 38 includes a rubber puddle seal which rides on the screening belt 32 to form a light seal with the screening belt 32 .
- the puddle seal may be constructed of any flexible rubber such as nitride (buna-N), as is known in the art, so that the seal between he screening belt 32 and the puddle wall 38 is substantially sufficient to prevent fluids from flowing back down screen belt 32 during operation.
- the puddle wall 38 and the side walls 36 assist in the formation of a puddle of fluid on the screening belt 32 , whereby a pressure head is exerted on the fluid at the bottom of the puddle and adjacent to the screening belt 32 .
- the fluid stream along with those particles small enough to pass through openings in the screening belt 32 , is directed through the belt 32 and the perforated backing plate 34 .
- the screened fluid stream then passes over deflector plate 44 and down discharge incline 50 to discharge port 18 .
- the screened fluid steam containing only wastewater with small suspended particles and dissolved materials then passes to downstream equipment for further treatment.
- Discharge inlcine 50 preferably extends from just below the form end of deflector plate 44 the base of the first end 14 of municipal waste separator 0 .
- the angle of discharge incline 50 is sufficient to cause municipal wastewater falling on it to flow freely along it and out of the municipal waste separator 10 through discharge port 18 .
- Belt cleaning rush 52 is preferably disposed adjacent to the first end 12 near the debris outlet 20 , and below upper roller 40 , to brush any debris particles retained on the surface of screening belt 32 into the debris outlet 20 .
- Belt cleaning brush 52 is preferably a roughly cylindrical brush with relatively stiff bristles which brush the surface of screening belt 32 during operation.
- the bristles may comprise a metallic wire, a suitably stiff plastic (such as nylon), or natural fibers.
- belt cleaning brush 52 may be generally cylindrical with either longitudinal or spiral paddles extending from its surface.
- the debris and large particles are directed by a splash guard 54 and debris incline 56 to a debris discharge port 58 .
- the debris discharge port passes the separated debris and large particles to disposal.
- the debris incline 56 preferably extends from just below the front end of deflector plate 44 to first end 12 at a sufficiently steep angle that any debris falling to will continue to slide out of the municipal waste separator through the debris discharge port 58 .
- Debris incline 56 and discharge incline 50 are sealed (e.g. by welding) to each other and to the side plates 22 , 24 of municipal waste separator 10 such that the space thus created under the inclines remains relatively dry and free of fluid.
- a motor assembly is preferably disposed beneath the inclines 50 , 56 .
- the fluid stream may be directed through overflow discharge vents 68 provided in the side plates 22 , 24 . In this manner, the fluid stream may be prevented from exiting the separator 10 via the debris discharge port 58 .

- Belt cleaning brush 52 preferably rotates in a direction which opposes the direction of motion of screening belt 32 , preferably with a bristle-tip velocity of approximately twice the velocity of screening belt 32 . If the outside diameter of cleaning brush 52 is approximately equal to that of the upper roller 40 , then cleaning brush 52 preferably rotates at about twice the rate of the upper roller 40 .
- the motor 60 is preferably capable of moving screening belt 32 at a linear velocity of approximately 1440 inches per minute. Depending on the flow rate of the inlet fluid stream, the speed of screen belt 32 may be varied from about 500 inches per minute to about 3000 inches per minute. A three-phase electric motor rated at one horsepower is expected to be satisfactory for operation of a municipal waste separator 10 as described herein having a capacity of approximately 1100 gallons per minute of municipal wastewater.
- Access covers 70 may be provided at various strategic points on the exterior of separator 10 to permit easy access to the interior.
- a guard door 72 is preferably provided over the toothed gears and drive chain 64 to allow easy maintenance of the drive train.

- Other materials such as stainless steel or aluminum may also be used in the construction of debris incline 56 .
- FIG. 5 is a schematic cross-section of municipal waste separator 10 , showing the configuration of the conveyor bed and the relative geometry of deflector plate 44 .
- the side walls 36 are attached to the side plates 22 , 24 , and ride against the top surface of screening belt 32 to substantially prevent fluids from feeder 26 from escaping around the screening belt 32 .
- the side walls are preferably made of flexible rubber, and are mounted to the side plates with mounting brackets along their upper edge.
- Deflector plate 44 is disposed below perforated backing plate 34 and preferably along the length of perforated backing plate 34 from the lower roller 42 to the debris incline 56 to prevent the screened fluid stream from collecting on the underside of screening belt 32 .
- Deflector plate 44 is preferably peak-shaped, and may be formed from a sheet of steel or other material by bending the sheet at its centerline and along its length to form an angle of approximately 163 degrees. The bending angle of deflector plate 44 is not critical and may be any angle providing only that fluids will flow freely down its sides.
- the deflector plate 44 is mounted to the side plates 22 , 23 by mounting angles 80 to provide between the side plates 22 , 24 and the deflector plate 44 space through which the screened fluid stream may pass. Enough mounting angles 80 are employed to secure the deflector plate 44 firmly in place.
- FIG. 6 shows a preferred configuration of perforated backing plate 34 .
- Perforated backing plate 34 is provided with an arrangement of rectangular performations 86 overlaid by slider bars 82 .
- the perforations are provided to allow the municipal waste water screened by the screening belt 32 to fall through the backing plate 34 .
- various perforation configurations are possible, the use of 3 inch by 5 inch rectangular perforations is currently preferred. Whichever configuration is chosen, the open are of perforated plate 34 should be sufficient for the desired capacity of the municipal waste separator 10 , and sufficient support should be provided for screening belt 32 and the fluids resting on it.
- Backing plate 34 has a lower end 88 near the lower roller 42 and an upper end 90 near the upper roller 40 .
- Slider bars 82 are angled to support belt 32 while providing uniform wear on belt 32 and slider bars 82 .
- the slider bars 82 are mounted on the backing plate 34 by ties 84 . Slider bars 82 advantageously separate belt 32 from the backing plate 34 to ease the flow of waste water trough the belt 32 .
- the slider bars 82 are preferably constructed of ultra high molecular weight (“UHMW”) polethylene but may also be constructed of other materials, like stainless steel, or aluminum.
- the backing plate 34 is preferably constructed of stainless steel but may also be constructed of other materials, such as UHMW or aluminum.
- UHMW polyethylene for the slider bar 82 provides satisfactory slickness and wear resistance for screening belt 32 .
- the perforated backing plate 34 is preferably supported by, and bolted to, a plurality of support angles which run transversely across and underneath perforated backing plate 34 . The support angles may be firmly affixed to the side plates 22 , 24 .
- the slider bars 82 are preferably replaceable, whereby the life-span of the perforated backing plate 34 is extended.
- FIG. 7 shows a preferred embodiment of screening belt 32 .
- Screening belt 32 preferably comprises a backing belt 92 which supports and carries one or more fine screens 94 that are attached to the backing belt at each end by attachment seams 96 , 98 .
- Backing belt 92 preferably is a metal chain belt, i.e. the belt consists of a chain of wide metal links. Since the fine screens 94 are supported by the backing belt 92 , the fine screens 94 are subject to less wear from fixed surfaces such as the baking plate 34 . Accordingly, the fine screens 94 may be formed from less expensive materials or formed with smaller apertures than would otherwise be possible.
- Upper and lower rollers 40 , 42 may be provided with teeth that engage the backing belt to prevent slippage and further assure belt alignment. Build-up of material on the teeth is expected to be negligible relative to the build-up commonly experienced on cylindrical rollers.
- the fine screens are preferably constructed of polyester, nylon, polyethylene, polypropylene, or other materials as are known in the art.
- the mesh size of the fine screens is preferably about 10 (i.e. roughly 10 openings per inch) but mesh sizes from about 5 to 40 may also be used.
- the thickness of fine screen is preferably about 0.1 inches, and the width is preferably about 28 inches, although other dimensions are also contemplated. It is noted that since the fine screens 94 may be vulnerable to damage, the use of multiple fine screens is advantageous in that repair can be achieved by replacing only the damaged screen. The remaining screens need not be replaced. This is expected to reduce the maintenance costs for the municipal waste separator 10 .
- FIG. 8 shows one embodiment of attachment seam 96 , which may be constructed in the following manner.
- a flexible plastic is cast into a short, full-width section of fine screen 94 .
- Two parallel rows of open links 100 are attached to opposite edges along the width of the fine screen section, and spaced apart so that they may be interlaced by corresponding links from the fine screen attachment seam 98 .
- the attachment seam 96 may be secured to the backing belt 92 by rivets or other suitable means to form a permanent seam arrangement.
- One suitable flexible plastic material for making the seam is polytherm.
- Fine screen attachment seam 98 (FIG. 7) is similarly made by casting a flexible plastic into each end of fine screen 94 .
- a row of open links 100 are then attached along the width of each end of fine screen 94 , spaced apart so as to interlace with the open lines of attachment seam 96 .
- the seam may be secured by running a metal rod through the interlaced links 100 and placing a bend in the ends of the rod to secure the rod.
- the motor assembly when placing the municipal waste separator 10 into operation, the motor assembly is engaged at a speed which is appropriate for the debris content of the entering wastewater.
- the debris-laden municipal waste water enters the municipal waste separator through inlet pipe 16 and feeder 26 .
- Motor 60 drives the upper roller 40 via the gear and chain arrangement described above, which causes the screening belt 32 to move smoothly in a generally counter-clockwise direction with reference to FIG. 1 .
- a screening belt speed of 1440 inches per minute will be sufficient, although higher and lower speeds may be supported.
- Screening belt 32 rides on, and is supported by, perforated backing plate 34 .
- the entering municipal wastewater falls from feed 26 to the upper surface of screening belt 32 .
- the liquid and very fine particles of the municipal wastewater pass through the opening of screening belt 32 , and subsequently also pass through the perforations in perforated backing plate 34 , are diverted from he underside of screening belt 32 , and flow down discharge incline 50 to discharge outlet 18 .
- the very fine particles which pass through the screening belt 32 are carried along with the fluids through the discharge outlet 18 . These may be subsequently removed from the municipal wastewater by subsequent wastewater treatment steps downstream.
- Some of the entering wastewater is retained for a period of time as a puddle on the top surface of screening belt 32 by the puddle wall 38 and side walls 36 .
- the weight of this puddle adds to the pressure on the municipal wastewater close the apertures in screening belt 32 by creating a hydrostatic head of fluid above the screening belt 32 .
- the increased pressure assists in forcing the wastewater through the screening belt 32 .
- the debris is conveyed up the inclined screening belt 32 towards upper roller 40 , allowing excess wastewater to drain from the debris.
- the screening belt passes around upper roller 40 , most of the debris conveyed by the screening belt 32 exits the municipal waste separator 10 through the debris outlet 20 . Any debris which clings to screening belt 32 is removed by the counter-rotating belt cleaning brush 52 . Debris which finds its way to debris discharge incline 56 or splash guard 54 will slide down into the debris discharge port. Debris discharge incline 56 extends up close to the return path of screening belt 32 to prevent debris from moving in the direction of the wastewater discharge port 18 .
- the screening belt travels around lower roller 42 and returns to the area below the feeder 26 through which inlet fluids continuously pass into municipal waste separator 10 .
- FIG. 9 shows an alternate embodiment of a municipal waste separator 110 .
- Spray nozzles 112 are provided above the conveyor bed to wash slimes and small clinging particles from debris travelling up the inclined screening belt 32 .
- the spray nozzles 112 may be apertures in a sealed manifold aimed to spray down at the surface of screen belt 32 .
- One end of the manifold is connected to a supply hose which supplied the spray nozzles with water under a pressure of about 40 pounds per square inch.
- the washed debris travels over upper roller 40 and down debris incline 55 . Debris incline 55 and splash plate 57 direct any debris or projected moisture from brush 52 down to press belt 114 .
- Press belt 114 is an endless belt that circulates between a drive roller 118 and an idler roller 116 . Excess moisture drains from the washed debris through apertures in press belt 114 , and pressure is applied to the debris by a pressure roller 120 to squeeze out additional moisture which also drains away through apertures in press belt 114 . The pressed debris passes over drive roller 118 and falls to the debris outlet 20 . Any debris clinging to press belt 114 is scraped away by scraper 121 .
- Pressure roller 120 is equipped with a biasing spring 122 and a scraper 124 .
- Spring 122 presses the pressure roller 120 against belt 114 with sufficient force to squeeze excess water from the debris while avoiding damage to belt 114 or roller 120 .
- Scraper 124 removes any clinging debris from pressure roller 120 . In this manner, as much excess water as possible is removed from the debris to minimize the volume of the debris.
- Press belt 114 is preferably constructed of polyester, nylon, polyethylene, polypropylene, or other materials as are known in the art.
- the mesh size of the press belt is preferably about the same as that of the fine screens 94 .
- the thickness of press belt is preferably about 0.1 inches, and the width is preferably about 28 inches, although other dimensions are also contemplated.
